Head’s Introduction

                                Congratulations!
                                 I am delighted by the exceptionally high
                                 standards of our Year 13 students and
                                 remain incredibly proud of them. These
                                 excellent A level results, although gained
                                 in unusual and difficult circumstances,
                                 remain the result of two years’ hard work
                                 and commitment alongside our internal
                                 controlled assessments. I commend
 our students for their resilience and positivity throughout this period
 alongside the dedication of our teachers and the support of our parent
 body. In common with their year group across the UK, our students have
 been through so much and, although I would have wished for a different
 experience for these young people, they can move forward confident in
 the knowledge that they have displayed tenacity and courage in the face
 of adversity. I look forward to hearing from our students as they become
 Old Woodbridgians and hearing of their future successes.
